Arkansas Cracks Down on Delta-8, THC Vape Products

Arkansas is cracking down on hemp-derived THC products, with state agents ordering vape shops and convenience stores to clear their shelves of now-illegal items. The ban, initiated in 2023 after a rise in child poisonings, targets popular psychoactive cannabinoids like Delta-8 and Delta-9 derived from hemp.

Previously unregulated, these products lacked age minimums or safety standards. The new law reclassifies these THC substances as schedule VI controlled substances, placing them alongside non-medical marijuana. Arkansas Tobacco Control agents are actively warning retailers to remove the products. Possession of these banned THC items can now result in penalties ranging from misdemeanors to felonies.
